The Chinese women's football team is looking forward to Japan, and there will be three changes to the starting lineup, with Wang Shuang or on the bench

The Chinese women's football team swept Thailand in the quarter-finals of the Hangzhou Asian Games and advanced to the semifinals. For the Chinese women's football team, the test of advancing to the top four teams of the Asian Games has really begun. Because, the Chinese women's football team will face the challenge of Japan in the semifinals of the Asian Games. The Japanese women's football team in the Hangzhou Asian Games this time is a full-fledged second team, with young players in the team. In this situation, the Japanese team still showed a devastating advantage in the group stage and knockout stage.

Japan met the Philippines in the quarter-finals of the Asian Games, and in this match, the team faced the rapidly improving Philippines, and played well at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Japan and the Philippines women's football team won 8-1 after 90 minutes. Therefore, it is not an easy task for the Chinese women's football team to defeat the Japanese second team in the semifinals. Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia may make three adjustments to the starting lineup depending on the situation in Japan.

First, Shui Qingxia will let veteran Wang Shanshan retreat to play central defender. Wang Shanshan began to play as a center forward after the Chinese women's football team competed in the Asian Games. Because, in the face of Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Thailand and other weak brigades, the pressure on the defensive end is very small, and Wang Shanshan is not used to play central defender to stabilize the heart. Now, the Japanese second team is so fierce in attack, Wang Shanshan must retreat to play central defense. Wang Shanshan withdraws to play central defender, she will become the defensive backbone of the Chinese women's team, so that fans also feel particularly relieved that they will not be kicked by the Japanese team.

In addition, Shen Mengyu, who did not start in the match between the Chinese women's football team and Thailand, will return to the main lineup. Shen Mengyu, as the backbone of the Chinese women's football team, played well in the group stage of the Asian Games, which made the fans' eyes shine. In the semifinals of the Chinese women's football team against the Japanese second team, Shen Mengyu can take more care of defense at the back and take the initiative to do some dirty and tiring work in order to resist the bombardment of the Japanese women's team. Shen Mengyu has been playing in the Soviet Premier League for the past two seasons, and his awareness and technology have improved significantly, and he is known as China's Modric.

Hopefully, Shen Mengyu can continue to give convincing performances after returning to the starting XI against Japan in China. Finally, Shui Qingxia led the Chinese women's football team to play stronger opponents, and generally left behind. Then, Wang Shuang, the number one star of the Chinese women's football team, may play as a substitute in the semifinals and then play as a surprise soldier in the second half. After Wang Shuang appeared in the second half, he will be more physical, and then the threat on the field will be greater. It is hoped that after these three adjustments, Shui Qingxia can make the Chinese women's football team successfully defeat the strong Japanese team in the semifinals and realize the ultimate dream of winning gold at the Hangzhou Asian Games as soon as possible.
